Kaleb Hunter choose your border crossings with care. Some are more restrictive than others. Read comments posted by others in this forum about their experiences. Good Luck.

thank you on thats what I needJames ********
@Kaleb *******
you are allowed a maximum of two border crossings by land in a calendar year. If allowed to enter you would be stamped in for 30 days as visa exempt arrival and can be extended 30 days at a Thai immigration for 1,900 Thai baht.Person *******

1. You need a passport from a Nationality that allows you to come into Thailand if you do not have a multiple entry visa. 2. Maximum you can get is a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, but this depends on the nationality of your passport. 3. your passport.

ORIGINAL POSTERIs there a place in Bangkok that setup these land border runs?
Robert *******
You got this part on arrival and should be in your passport.
Person *******
ORIGINAL POSTERSo I need this before or after the border run?
Robert *******
Part of the arrival/departure card you filled in at arrival. Arrival part is taken of on entry and the departure part is taken on departure.

ORIGINAL POSTERWhat is tm6? ??
Robert *******
In that case, only your passport with TM 6 departure card. You get 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, be aware you can only do this twice a calendar year.
